Welcome to Gaia! ::

Name: Zaphkiel, The Second
Age: Came into being outside of time, has 'existed' within time for 37 years
Gender: Male
Race: Nobody
Alignment: Neutral
Homeworld: Spawned in The Far Realm, spent most of his 'existence' in Wonderland

Appearance: Zaphkiel
Height: 5'11
Weight: 154 lbs.
Body Type: Lean
Skin Type: Tan
Eyes: Green
Hair: Auburn
Other:

Clothing: Loose, flowing clothes arranged with blues, reds and light browns, as well as trace amounts of silver.
Items:

• Gloves of the Duelist - Acquired from a fallen adversary, these gloves establish a metaphysical link between the wearer and the melee weapons they carry. While linked, the weight of these weapons are dramatically reduced, allowing for faster and more dynamic use.
  
• Edged Scabbard - A unique sheath for Zaphkiel's Falchion that keeps the blade razor sharp.
  
• Enigmatic Journal Entry - Zaphkiel found this collection of papers on his person after first coming into being. While they possess no special properties on their own, their contents speak of a most complex sorcery, as well as the origins of Zaphkiel himself. The Nobody has kept these pages with the thought that he may one day discover more of the same.

Weapons:

• Longsword - Zaphkiel's primary weapon. The blade itself possesses no supernatural abilities; however, it is composed of a rare ore known as Tok'l. Tok'l metal is highly psycho-reactive, and this property allows Zaphkiel to transfer his psionic abilities into the sword.
  
• Falchion - A heavy blade that Zaphkiel typically keeps in its scabbard. He uses it mainly when he enters his Dream State, taking advantage of its keen edge when he doesn't have to worry about its poor reach.

Armor: A light suit of firm scale mail beneath his clothes.

Ability Slots:

• Novice Alabaster Psionics - Creates a projection of silvery-white energy, used for momentary shielding and deflection of oncoming attacks.
  
• Novice Anathemic Psionics - Conjurs a scarlet orb which hovers slowly through the air until it comes into contact with another solid object, which causes it to detonate fiercely.
  
• Novice Iridescent Psionics - Produces a prismatic stream of energy, capable of absorbing other forms of energy that collide with it to fuel its attack power.
  
• Dream State - By tapping into the second consciousness that lives within his mind, Zaphkiel can place himself into a unique state of autohypnosis. In this state, the fragments of the alien mind that he possesses maintain the actions he was taking beforehand while shutting his own mind out of the actions, placing him on a sort of 'auto-pilot'. In this state, Zaphkiel becomes immune to fatigue and pain, capable of taking even critical strikes and performing strenuous actions with minimal interference. However, it also takes the full use of his mental focus, preventing him from using any of his other psionic abilities while in the Dream State. He can be jarred free of this state if a significant amount of damage is dealt to him at once.
  
• Passive Ability Armored Mind - The shards of The Courier's mind that exist within Zaphkiel keep his willpower incredibly fortified, making him immune to the vast majority of spells or powers that attempt to weaken or dominate the mind. However, he is far more succeptible to powers that cause sleep or similar effects.

Strengths: Potent mental power and fortitude | Moderate melee combat skills | Can shrug off certain amounts of damage
Weaknesses: Overall neutrality prevents him from taking action in a fight unless he's directly involved or at risk | Often loses motivation during combat or tough situation and simply walks away | Subject to spontaneous narcoleptic episodes

Personality: Zaphkiel is, as Nobodies tend to be, a being whose existence is a vague definition, at best. He feels very little for those around him, regardless of what kind of state they're in. He does, however, seem to have this primal driving idea that he could become capable of being more human if his existence were more fully defined. To this end, he has been known to sympathize with those who may be able to help him 'evolve', as it were. Beyond this compelling force, though, he tends to pay almost no attention to those of either good or evil alignment, claiming that both sides of the spectrum only serve to annoy him. In addition, due to the remnants of The Curator within his mind, he also possesses an innate thirst for wisdom and understanding.
Likes: Information, those he deems useful, a cup of tea, a nice nap
Dislikes: Those who are either extremely good or extremely evil, those who find it necessary to impede his efforts
Greatest Fear: To come to the end of his 'existence' without learning if he can progress beyond what he is.

Family: The First and Third Pieces, though he's done his best to avoid them and their crazy schemes.
Acquaintances: Hatter, March Hare and Dormouse

History: When The Curator performed the Rite of Division, Zaphkiel was the second of the Pieces Three to be removed from its host. From what can be discerned from the Enigmatic Journal Entry that Zaphkiel possesses, this second part of the ritual involved carefully stripping the host of his physical form, leaving only his collective Divine energy to keep his consciousness in tact. Once The Curator removed this physical body, it can be reasoned that the latent energy from the host was powerful enough within his former shell that a Nobody would inevitably rise from it. Zaphkiel was only kept in The Far Realm for a short time for observational study before being hurled through time and space by The Curator. Zaphkiel's earliest memories of existing within what he calls "this Branch" involved him dwelling in a world with a diverse and nonsensical landscape, where he spent much of his time taking tea with a rather lackadaisical bunch around a table far too large for just the four of them. Due to the many years he spent in such a mad land, it makes a degree of sense that his view on things became somewhat skewed.
What Zaphkiel didn't know - and what The Curator had failed to notice until much later - was that the removal of the host's body also carried with it the removal of his willpower, part of which was also The Curator's. As such, Zaphkiel eventually came to find that he possessed remarkable powers of the mind, though he was hardly ambitious enough to try and expand upon these abilities. In fact, even after making this discovery, it was still a decade of half-raving suggestions from his three mad friends later before the Nobody finally got up from the table and sought out a way to better himself. He has been travelling almost accidentally from world to world ever since, stumbling through the corridors between worlds. Even this many years later, he still has yet to find anything concrete in his search for something that can help him learn more about what he is and what he can become. In spite of this, he still rides forward on the memories of his friend's words of motivation, sure that he'll be able to return to them a vastly superior being.

Aye, pretty much right on the ball. Didn't become a Nobody through traditional means, but is one by definition. Perhaps there are varying species of Nobody...probably merits further research...

But anyway, awesome. And no worries, I'll make sure he won't be invoking psionic abilities as fast as KENYANS! Wouldn't want him to get deported back to KENYAAAAAAAA.

Bio: Zikomo was born and raised in Narnia. Her parents were members of the Royal Guard and she grew up watching them training and escorting Narnian royalty, dreaming of the day when she could do the same. When she was 11 her parents volunteered to join the troop being sent to the warfront by the King. For six agonizing months she waited for their return. Finally they did, but not in the way she had anticipated. Nearly half of the troop came back in coffins, her mother being one of them. Of those who came back alive only a fourth were uninjured. Losing her mother was devastating, and her father’s injuries were too serious for her father to ever be able to work on the guard again. It wasn’t long after that when she met Morph, her Galiant. His friendship and companionship comforted her when she needed it most, and furthermore his nature opened up a new avenue of abilities and prospect class for her. Once she started attending the Academy she started honing her stealth skills, and on her summers off she worked for and learned from the more secret (and less used) companies of the Royal Guard. Wanting to make her parents proud and make a difference on the frontline fueled her study habits, training, and perfectionism.

It was there that she met Iago before being trapped and locked away inside of the hideout for a year. During this year she became close to Iago and learned some of his tricks.

After that year she woke up one day she and the rest of the kids were all taken out of their cages and were going to be sold off to slavery. Some of the thieves had decided to get a little rough with some of the kids and even beat up Rebecca to put her in her place. When Rebecca hit the ground a ray of light suddenly appeared in her right hand and a war machete took form. With her new weapon Rebecca stood up and faced off with the thieves and defeated most of them.

She then discovered while escaping that Iago did not want to be a thief anymore and they both ran to Kingdom Academy after making sure the kids got back home to their families.

Kingdom Academy Character App
Name: Garret
Galiant: Peter Pan
Age: 16
Gender: Male
Class: Third Year

Appearance
Height: 5’11
Weight: 156 lbs
Hair: Auburn.
Eyes: Icy Blue
Skin: Fair
Build/Body Type: Wiry
Personality: Arguably, the most defining trait of Garret’s personality is his laid back attitude. Things that are problems for other students at the academy are frequently met with a sarcastic quip and an insistence that said problem just isn’t that big of a deal. When other students will study for a test, he’ll be napping, reading something completely unrelated to the subject matter, or bickering with his Galiant over whose idea of “fun” is better.

This isn’t to say that Garret is stupid, as the reality is quite the opposite. Garret is an incredibly intelligent person, but his terrible work ethic and lack of any real drive to truly apply himself to areas that don’t immediately catch his interest prevent him from excelling, much to the ire of his teachers. Not that he really cares.

This iconoclastic nature has made him a fairly popular figure as a kind of low key class clown, but at the same time, he remains very much an enigma. Garret has many acquaintances, but very few people that he considers true friends and he prefers to keep it that way, being a private person by nature. Despite this, Garret can be a surprisingly kindhearted and loyal friend to those who do manage to earn his trust, though even then, he won’t reveal everything about himself to them.

Garret is a very naturally perceptive person and it is this perceptiveness that drives his greatest fears and hidden anxieties. While unsure of the exact details, Garret has been able to piece together that the staff are hiding something about the war from the students. It is this thought that hangs over Garret daily, as he knows that he, along with everyone else at the Academy could very well be training for a war that they have no real hope of winning.

Overall, Garret is a complex individual who can be rather hard to pin down personality wise. While his laid back, blunt, and cynical nature can be a true pain to deal with, he is none the less a kindhearted person who wants to make the most out of both his and his friends lives. Lives, he fears, that could soon be cut very, very short.

Likes: Napping, flying, reading, target practice, cold weather, puzzles
Dislikes: Being lied to, abuse of power and authority, war in general, over exerting himself (He has a very broad take on the last one)
Fears: Death, The War.

Weapon: Twin Arrowguns . These guns can combine into a rifle that shoots more powerful rounds at the cost of speed.
Abilities:

• Falcon’s Eye- Garret’s natural eye sight is almost inhumanly sharp, allowing him to pull off more accurate shots and better gage his opponents movements.
  
• Glide - Garret can suspend himself in the air and fly around for a brief period of time
  
• Aerobic Glide- An upgraded form of glide that allows Garret to remain suspended in air for an extended period of time and perform actions as if he were on the ground such as firing his weapons and casting.
  
• Uncanny Dodge – Garret can reflexively dodge attacks far easier than most people.
  
• Hi Jump
  

Spells:

• Aero – A basic wind magic spell, summons up a small whirlwind that blasts enemies into the air, damaging them
  
• Aerora – An advanced wind magic spell, summons up a more powerful whirlwind that also has more of a disorienting effect on its target.
  
• Stop – Freezes an enemy in place for a brief period of time.
  
• Shadow Stalk – Garret separates his shadow from his body and sends it after an opponent. Acting as a tracer and debuff once it makes contact with the enemy, the shadow both allows Garret to more accurately place his shots while simultaneously lowering the enemies defense by two points
  
• Storm’s Eye – A small cyclone surrounds Garret for a brief period of time, deflecting weaker attacks and reducing the damage taken by more powerful ones. It will also knock enemies who are too close to him away when initially cast.
  

Strengths: Mid- long range combat, Physical and magical offense, Agility, Movement
Weaknesses: Close quarter combat, Physical and Magical Defense, Lack of drive
Stats

• Attack: 15
  
• Defense: 12
  
• Magic Attack: 16
  
• Magic Defense: 12
  
• Speed/Agility: 16
  

Bio: Garret always says that he was the product of a weird union, his father being a doctor and his mother a weapons designer. As such, he got acquainted at a very young age with both the most awe inspiring and bloody aspects of the war. It may have been this dichotomy that caused Garret to grow up the way he did, or maybe it was just his own nature. None the less, from a young age, Garret became a hassle, constantly questioning authority figures, not fitting in with kids his own age and simply preferring to spend his time in relative isolation from other people. His parent’s honestly did try to work with him and get him to fit in, but war kept them busy, so Garret was mostly left to his own devices for most of his childhood, spending it relatively alone and simply coasting through life as an almost nonexistent presence in his community.

This meant that when he started disappearing for periods at a time at around age ten, at first, hardly anyone noticed or cared. Eventually though, the stretches of time became long enough that his parents became concerned and asked him about just where he had been running off to from sunrise to sunset. Garret stated that he had made a friend, Peter, who had been encouraging him to skip out on his “boring” life and play with him. While initially ecstatic that their son had finally made a friend, after a while Garret’s parents began to question whether “Peter”, was real or not, as the two were never seen together, the other boy’s apparent dislike of adults, and the stories how he could detach his own shadow and fly seemed almost too outlandish to believe.

Eventually, this anxiety came to a head when Garret’s parents told him that, unless they could actually meet with Peter, Garret would not be allowed to play with him anymore. The heated arguing that ensued eventually led to Garret running out of the house in a fit, only to be followed by his parents. It was then that finally, the two met “Peter”, who as turns out, was in fact a child who could never grow up that seemed to have formed a brotherly bond with the child how had grown up too fast.

While Garret and Peter’s friendship continued, it turned out that their bond went a lot deeper than either of them could have expected, as Garret started to be able to pull off some of Peter’s tricks, even being able suspend himself in flight for short periods of time. These traits were eventually noticed by some friends of the family, who recommended that Garret and Peter be sent to a special school where they could hone their abilities.

The adjustment from relatively free roaming lifestyle to Academy life became an interesting transition for the both of them, but Peter in particular found it down right agonizing at times. Throughout his first two years, Garret developed an aversion to homework and studying, a love of flight, and in general has become a more outgoing, if sarcastic individual, who has managed to garner some fame on campus. Coming into his third year, Garret is mostly just hoping that the increased course load doesn’t cut into his sleep schedule, but a small part of him hopes that he’ll be find answers to questions that have been plaguing him about the war since he arrived.
